Girl in the Arena: A novel containing intense prolonged sequences of disaster and perilBy Lise Haines
Bloomsbury, 2009. 324 pgs. Young Adult
In Massachusetts, eighteen-year-old Lyn, who has grown up in the public eye as the daughter of seven gladiators, wants nothing less than to follow her mother's path, but her only way of avoiding marriage to the warrior who killed her last stepfather may be to face him in the arena.
If you can’t get enough of the Hunger Games trilogy, you might be interested in this novel with a similar storyline. Lyn does not want to be a Glad wife like her mother. However, when Caesar’s Inc. makes a new bylaw concerning gladiator culture, it doesn’t look like she will have much choice in the matter. Although this book is not as well written as The Hunger Games series, it is action packed and an interesting look at what modern day gladiators might be like.
